Why do bands like DIIV and Mac Demarco even sign to a record label? I don't see what the label would offer that they couldn't do on their own. They live in NYC, which means they would get tons of exposure just playing shows all the time, they can book their own tours, and they can just upload their music to bandcamp and sell their albums like that, like Christopher Owens did. They don't get radio play on stations that they would receive a residual check from. They literally could do everything a label would offer on their own. So what is the point of signing a record deal in this day and age?

>>57803109That's pointless since they have to pay that money back anyways. They would be making way more money if they didn't because they. Would make more money from album sales and whatever else the record label makes from them.

Join us on the /gg/ challenge:>Create a short guitar tab (preferably in E Standard so more people will join), don't put any rhythm information on it, just the notes to be played>Alternatively, if there's already a tab posted (either on the OP or replies), just use that one>Record your interpretation>Post it on vocaroo and check how everybody else plays their own versions

Also:>Post gear>Post desired gear>How long have you been playing?>Favorite guitars?>Favorite guitarists?>Projects?

I suppose you could mill some slots into the thin side, but that'd be hard to do and require very fine tolerances, completely unlike the old ashtray cover on the vintage Tele, which was just a friction fit, if memory servesI wonder-are there any vintage-style bridges with both the lip for the ashtray cover and 6 saddles instead of just the 3?

So even though Colin Marston is now in both Gorguts and Behold The Arctopus, he decides to turn this album into basically just that

where's muh feels? other than the lunatic world of chaos, the emotional ranges of his writing has dwindled, but he's really dead set on this Teitanblood-tier wallbreaking exercise to get "into" the music so to speak.

If this dude got released from prison and channeled all of his frustration with the legal system, his label and his managers fucking him and trying to survive in prison, battling for your life both in the legal system and in prison, he would drop the hardest hip hop album of this decade.
